Tulsan Sentenced for Second Degree Murder

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Oklahoma

U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell sentenced Dillon Charles Wilson, 27, citizen of Muscogee (Creek) Nation, to 262 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release for second degree murder.

“Dillon Wilson made a fatal decision that took the life of another man,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “Jamitric Landrum’s family and loved ones are forever altered by this decision. My condolences go out to Mr. Landrum’s loved ones.”

According to court documents, on January 19, 2022, Jamitric Landrum and his girlfriend were at home when someone attempted to force the door open. They opened the door and saw a dark figure going around the corner. They left the apartment and got into their vehicle to look for the suspect. Jamitric was driving and pulled into a parking lot. He got into a brief verbal interaction with Dillon Charles Wilson. Jamitric’s girlfriend saw that Wilson was armed and told Jamitric to drive away. As they drove away, Wilson deliberately and intentionally began shooting at the vehicle striking Jamitric in the back. Law enforcement responded to the shooting. Jamitric was transported to the hospital where he later died from the gunshot wound.

Wilson has a prior criminal conviction for conduct related to robbery with a firearm as well as eluding a police officer. He will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility.

The FBI and Tulsa Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Brasher prosecuted the case.

This case was part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s DOJ Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, and the local community to develop effective, locally based strategies to reduce violent crime.
